Meeting Description:

The conference focusses on systemic linguistic
and sociolinguistic peculiarities of German
language minorities from the research
perspectives of variationist linguistics and
the studies of language contact and
multilingualism. A special point of interest is
research on language minorities in North and
South America. Yet presentations on other
(language)contact situations are welcome as
well.

We invite you to contribute to the conference
with oral presentations (of 30 minutes) on
German language minorities from various
perspectives. Please send your abstract (1 page
incl. references, Times New Roman font, 12pt.)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of
Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is
38-6005986. These donations can be offset
against your federal and sometimes your state
tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or

Many companies also offer a gift matching
program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your
human resources department and sending us a
form that the EMU Foundation fills in and
returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles
the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a
moment to check if your company operates such
a program.
